Today, we’d like to introduce you to Tracy Beauchamp.
Hi Tracy, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I started carding during Covid in 2020. I had recently retired from teaching and didn’t know if I would be going back into the classroom, but I knew I still wanted to make a difference in the lives of others.
I taught myself how to design the yard cards in my yard, then had my first client take a chance on me, and here I am 4 years later.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Nothing is ever smooth! There are just as many obstacles as there are victories.
With carding, you must worry about the weather, clientele, investments, and injuries. Just as fast as you make money, you still have to pay out all of the expenses, so it’s back to square one. It can be up one minute and down the next.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar with what you do, what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m a professional yard carder, I make individuals happy on special occasions whether it’s a birthday, graduation, anniversary, birth of a child etc. I’m most proud of my daughter for seeing me sacrifice yet be able to take care of our family with this business.
I can volunteer at her school and be available for anything she needs. What sets me apart from others in this business is my passion for carding. I put my heart and soul into each sign, whether big or small. I’ve been told my customer service is unmatched, and I don’t do this just for the money! I do it because of the smiles and memories I help create for others.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up, I was into sneakers, sports, hair, and nails, lol. I was the goofy, funny, yet fun friend to hang around. I loved to laugh and have fun.
I also made sure my grades were good so I could continue to do the things I wanted. I started working at 15 so that I could take care of the things I needed. I’ve always had a great work ethic, which has continued to the present day.
